The Hetmanate was a semiautonomous Cossack Suzerainty in Left-bank Ukraine (East of the Dnieper River ), owing fealty to the Tsar of Muscovy . It was established as a result of the Treaty Of Pereyaslav (''Pereyaslavs'ka Rada'') in 1654 , and its boundaries set following the Treaty Of Andrusovo (''Andrusiv'') of 1667 , which gave Right-bank Ukraine to Poland and retained Left-bank Ukraine for Russia (at the time Muscovy). The Hetmanate's first Hetman was Bohdan Khmelnytsky . Its capital was at Chyhyryn , and later at Baturyn and Hlukhiv . SEE ALSO |
